The Ascended Masters appear to people in their meditations from time to time. I’m often asked who they saw if they didn’t get a name, and it can be hard to determine who is who, and searching google images can come up with unsatisfying and conflicting results, and often the images are incorrect. Archangel Michael actually has black hair, not the blonde he’s often depicted with. And then again, the Masters can take on the image of various past lives they have had – just to confuse us - St Germain can appear as himself, or as he was as Merlin. El Morya can appear as himself or as he was as Abraham – nothing is as it seems. It all can be quite mystifying and confusing

Below I’ve started to combine a list of those who stand out as different, have interesting features, are commonly seen or have identified their name and form to me. I will continue to update this list.
